Experiences moving COBOL onto a minicomputer
Steven S. Herrick · ACM SIGMINI Newsletter · 1976
This paper presents some subjective experience and relative qualitative results concerning the transfer of a full High Level COBOL compiler designed for the IBM S/370 to a Low-Intermediate Level on a 32-bit minicomputer. The major impacts of language feature deletion upon compiler size and complexity, as well as the effects of specific compiler and object code support via micro-coding, are discussed.
